“…Currently, MRSA is distributed worldwide and constitutes a major concern in human health because of its ability to acquire novel antibiotic resistance mechanisms, limiting treatment options (Doulgeraki et al, 2017). At first, MRSA acquired in clinical environments and referred to as healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA), but in recent decades, it was reported in the community, that is, outside the hospital environment, and referred to as community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) (da Silva et al, 2020). MRSA infections in the community can also be caused by livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) (Köck et al, 2013;Spoor et al, 2013), which differs from HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA in its genomic traits (Cuny et al, 2015).…”

“…ARBs and ARGs may be transmitted to humans either by the consumption of raw and processed foods, including milk, meat, and aquatic animal products (Gebreyes et al., 2017) or by animal contact (Oniciuc et al., 2017). Some ARBs and ARGs are spreading more rapidly than others, becoming pandemic (Silva et al., 2020). Emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance has been usually attributed to the misuse or indiscriminate use of antibiotics in human and animal health (Klein & Franz, 2005; Vidovic & Vidovic, 2020).…”

Milk and milk products can harbor a multiple varieties of microorganisms. Therefore, they can be an important source of foodborne pathogens, including multidrug‐resistant bacteria. Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes a wide spectrum of infections both in animals and humans. Over the last two decades, the presence of MRSA in foods and food‐producing animals, including milk and milk products, has been frequently reported worldwide, raising public health concerns. In order to monitor and prevent foodborne MRSA contamination, it is necessary to understand their sources, the pheno/genotypic characteristics of the strains, and their transmission dynamics. In this review, studies conducted worldwide were summarized in order to assess the prevalence and diversity of MRSA circulating in milk and milk products. The risk factors for the occurrence of MRSA in milk and milk products were also discussed with preventive and control measures to avoid MRSA contamination in the dairy food chain.

“…Although very little attention is given to wild animals, the levels of AMR infiltration into their habitat through water, soil, and plants suggest that they could not remain unaffected. Even in wild animals that have minimal contact with humans and live in generally considered pristine environments, ARB, like highly multiresistant MRSA, were detected in dear, boar, wolfs, foxes, pigeons, pheasants and birds of prey (reviewed in Silva et al 2020).…”

The control of infectious diseases has always been a top medical priority. For years during the so-called antibiotic era, we enjoyed prolonged life expectancy and the benefits of superior pathogen control. The devastating failure of the medical system, agriculture and pharmaceutical companies and the general population to appreciate and safeguard these benefits is now leading us into a grim post-antibiotic era. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to microorganisms becoming resistant to antibiotics that were designed and expected to kill them. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, AMR was recognised by the World Health Organization as the central priority area with growing public awareness of the threat AMR now presents. The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, a project commissioned by the UK government, predicted that the death toll of AMR could be one person every 3 seconds, amounting to 10 million deaths per year by 2050. This review aims to raise awareness of the evergrowing extensiveness of antimicrobial resistance and identify major sources of this adversity, focusing on agriculture’s role in this problem and its solutions. Keypoints • Widespread development of antibiotic resistance is a major global health risk. • Antibiotic resistance is abundant in agricultural produce, soil, food, water, air and probiotics. • New approaches are being developed to control and reduce antimicrobial resistance.

“…Arguably, this demands new extensions to agri-food multi-polar governance. For example, farm animals excrete unmetabolised antibiotics, resistant bacteria, and antibiotic resistance genes into the environment (Silva et al, 2020) in concentrations too low to kill pathogens, but high enough for resistance genes to disseminate. How might farm animal excrement be formally measured and monitored?…”

Food supply chains and the antimicrobial resistance challenge: On the framing, accomplishments and limitations of corporate responsibility

2021

This paper presents a critique of supply chain responses to a particular global wicked problem – antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It evaluates the understanding of AMR (and drug-resistant infections) as a food system challenge and critically explores how responsibility for addressing it is framed and implemented. We place the spotlight on the AMR strategies applied in UK retailers’ domestic poultry and pork supply chains. This provides a timely analysis of corporate engagement with AMR in light of the 2016 O’Neill report on Tackling Drug Resistant Infections Globally, which positioned supermarket chains, processors, and regulators as holding key responsibilities. Research included interviews with retailers, industry bodies, policy makers, farmers, processors, consultants and campaigners. We evaluate how strategy for tackling AMR in the food system is focused on antimicrobial stewardship, particularly targets for reducing antibiotic use in domestic food production. The global value chain notion of multipolar governance, where influence derives from multiple nodes both inside and outside the supply chain, is blended with more-than-human assemblage perspectives to capture the implementation of targets. This conceptual fusion grasps how supply chain responsibility and influence works through both a distributed group of stakeholders and the ecological complexity of the AMR challenge. The paper demonstrates in turn: how the targets for reducing antibiotic use in domestic meat production represent a particular and narrowly defined strategic focus; how those targets have been met through distributed agency in the UK supply chain; and the geographical and biological limitations of the targets in tackling AMR as a wicked problem.
